The ALE 40 was a counter measure system (chaff and flare) the hole you saw was where a safety pin could be inserted to make the system safe, attached to the pin would be a trailing flag so it would be visible when the pin was fitted. In some operational environments the pin would only be removed prior to taxying on to the runway known as “end of runway arming” unfortunately this amazing aircraft is no longer in service. The actual aircraft you was looking at was damaged by a rocket attack on Kandahar Air Force base in Afghanistan. It was deemed to be damaged beyond repair for further flying duties and returned back to the UK for ground training and now a gate guardian for RAF Wittering.

Agree, I know the base too. Multi use base. You get a very active S.43 responce from the MOD rather than the police. Alconbury next base down, was even more. It had a red linages actually on the base floor and anyone who crossed that red line without a pre call in was shot by watching marksmen. I knew someone who crossed the line by just a jump over for a laugh and was immediatly shot in the leg. The others had to drag him over the red line to do first aid. These bases are so high secure but seem quiet. I used to work at another one round the corner which is even more secure, so secure even with correct papers and ID, on some days you still can't get on base. It not a secret what they do, as its known in public and in media but its slowed down. Don't mess around with the bases around the A1 / J - A47 / J -A14 areas, you get a very active S.43 or just the very active part first. These are war ready bases.

They were different types of Jet Engine, with Whittle's being the more refined longer term successful engine.

Frank Whittle was from Coventry, the Whittle Arch is a prominent landmark in front of the Transport Museum & Bus Station. He went to college in Lutterworth, there is another monument on one of the main roundabouts, the first ground test was also done there. In 1929 he attended the Central Flying School at Wittering undertaking a flying instructors’ course, but nothing was developed there, in fact the British Government has very little interest in such a concept initially that, most of initial development was at private companies in Rugby, while allowing him to publish the patent publically, before it eventually became a state secret.

Good one DJ - I remember when travelling back to our home in Lincolnshire from my parents in London in the '80s, we had spotted a plane (a harrier I believe) as a gate guard and as my young son was interested in aviation we pulled in to take a look. They were equally cordial and allowed us to look around but the only worrying factor was that there was a pillbox where that barrier is now and there was a RAF Regiment person in there with a machine gun watching our every move, we didn't stay very long cos my young daughter was frightened we would get shot. Stay safe DJ.

Most "Gate Guards" which is what these aircraft standing at the entrance to an RAF Camp are known as are accessible to the public. Everything on and in them is display only and non functioning. Hence access is authorised (generally). It can change depending on the camps alert status but that's more to do with general access than particular access.

Spent a week at Wittering about a decade ago when I was an Air Cadet. One of my favourite memories. Explored a lot of the site and the facilities, including the engineering bays. Just fyi on your description, the man who spoke to you was an RAF corporal, his rank slide was blue and he had a RAF cap badge. The other one I think was Army, didn’t see the badge clearly enough but I don’t know if RAF have different cap badges whilst the Army do for the different regiments.

They have cats eyes in the kerbs in case of a war footing where all the lights and street lights would be extinguished, only visible from certain low angles to give entering vehicles some line to work to and cannot be seen from overhead, they are different colours for different areas.

I flew on the world's first jet airliner (albeit the second operational version) out of RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire. A Royal Air force Transport Command De Havilland Comet 2. All the seats faced backwards. Except for the pilots of course! When I was in the army we were taught not to 'gesticulate' with our hands when we spoke. It was always associated with Italians. Obviously not something they bother with now.

Most MoD bases / camps have a facility which allows service personnel to store their caravans. The married living quarter areas do not have sufficient space to store them so an area is provided. Even with Military / Civilian security patrols, camera and high fences, these caravans are not totally secure. I believe many years ago, thieves cut the fence at the bottom end of RAF Uxbridge's airfield and towed a couple away.

DJ be careful there are restrictions under the official Secrets act you may be best to check this out further Section 1 of the Official Secrets Act 1911 makes it an offence for any person for any purpose prejudicial to the safety or interests of the state to approach, inspect or be in the neighbourhood of a 'prohibited place' or to make or otherwise obtain a sketch (a term which encompasses a photograph) which might be directly or indirectly useful to a potential enemy. All Government Communications Headquarters sites are prohibited places for the purposes of the Act.

You could see every single detail of the undercarriage, it was a bit frightening at times and was even an assesment done if it was a danger. I swear you felt you could stick your hand out the school bus window and touch em.

The missiles may be dummy practice ones but that’s not always the case. For many years the Lancaster bomber which now flies with the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight was the “gate guardian” at RAF Scampton, just up the road from Wittering near Lincoln. Beside it, proudly on display was a dummy “grand slam” bomb, the biggest and most destructive bomb carried by the RAF in WW2, nicknamed the earthquake bomb. Kids used to climb on it and play on it. When the Lancaster was taken off the guard to be renovated for flight and the guardroom moved to a different place in the late 1960s the massive 22,000lb bomb had to be moved too. It was then that it was discovered that the bomb was actually live...and armed. If it had exploded it’s believed it would have wrecked half of Lincoln. Needless to say that bomb disposal (coincidentally currently based at Wittering) were called out to make it safe. It’s still on display at Scampton in it now ‘safe’ form Whoops.

Excellent video as always and brought back a memory for me with the Harrier as when a child I went to an air display at RAF Church Fenton with my dad in the early 70's and the jump jet hovered over the crowd and fired its engines. Another highlight there was seeing a Vulcan bomber and the Red Arrows.
